Acceptance |
By Gwen Flowers |
It isn’t letting go.
It’s going on. It isn’t only shadows, and it isn’t only dawn. It isn’t getting through it, it’s letting it come through me. Not living in the darkness, though the darkness I can see. It’s living with the sorrow but finding memories sweet. It’s knowing that it takes both sides to make it all complete. It’s soaking up the sunshine along with the rain. It’s learning to let laughter live side by side with pain. It’s knowing that the years won’t change a love that’s real, or take away the joy you brought, or the sorrow that I feel. It’s knowing tears and laughter can live on the same face, and your impression on my heart can never be erased. |
